Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Stage: 3

Session number: 1

Average n-back: 2.2

Wow this one is really hard…I hope I can make progress! When n=3, it’s almost impossible to keep 3 squares and 3 letters in my head at the same time while rotating them each step…

Brain Training Report – Jordan – Stage 3, Session 4

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Stage: 3

Session number: 4

Average n-back: 2.4

I do about one session per day. Is this sufficient? Also, Should if this is sufficient should I keep working on stage 3 sessions, or do some sessions from stage 1 and 2 also? I just want to make sure I am training in the best possible way to improve. MCAT in t-minus 2 weeks!

N-back strategy

Monday, May 14th, 2012

Stage: 3

Session number: 3

Average n-back: 3.2

Hey there everyone! Here’s a little method that really boosted my n-back scores. From struggling with 3 and 4 seeming impossible when I tried this method out I was very surprised to find myself actually get up to 5 a few times! (And not do that terribly either!)

On n=2 memorize the first two squares and their letters, as the next two come up, commit them to memory as well. Matching them if they did obviously. After you remember the second block of two eliminate the first one. An example.

(H F) : (G F!)
(G F) : (G! R)

On n=3 it’s the same except your remember it in blocks of three as opposed to two. (HFR-QFS) The number of sequences you remember is double the N number. N for one block, and another N for the matching/next block.

Good luck everyone! I hope this works for you. If it doesn’t, just try and find out how your brain likes to do everything. Train well!

Brain Training Report – Dan – Stage 3, Session 35

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Stage: 3

Session number: 35

Average n-back: 3.45

I left in December 2011 with an average of 3.40 on stage 3. It has been 4 months and I really wanted to get back on the training. I started back today , April 27th 2012, and within 3 attempts I was able to score a 3.45. This is higher than when I left. I was amazed! The program has permanent results!

Brain Training Report – Arvid – Stage 3, Session 93

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Stage: 3

Session number: 93

Average n-back: 6,3

Hi, Martin.
I wonder if my progress is at normal rates? I think at my 100´ session (N3) so will I make N/7s perfects as I might do N6 now. I have been at N8 a few times and done 8/4 – to my best.
Yesterday I felt how I started to remember all dots for each round,versus earlier there I´d split blocks to remember in 2 parts.

My fastest progress came when I did 5 sessions a day and meditated between each session. Now I try to do 1 session once a day. And that I do for a daily basis is getting better!

Brain Training Report – Tom – Stage 2, Session 5

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Stage: 2

Session number: 5

Average n-back: 4.4

If I don’t record my answers quickly, they disappear from my mind. Though I am getting more secure in the n=4, n=5 is freaking me out a little, so I push to try it, but move down when I get too many wrong answers in a row. As soon as I think of anything else during the training, I am lost! haha

Brain Training Report – Tom G – Stage 2, Session 3

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Stage: 2

Session number: 3

Average n-back: 3.65

I am on Level 2 and having a difficult time working the n-4 sessions so I keep moving down to n-3. For some reason that extra factor in the sequence trips me up. But I keep working at it.
